Wackos Night Out


My wacko friend from Down Under, Anush, came over for a working trip, so we invited her out for a Saturday dinner and dance! We had Portuguese dishes at Asian Heritage Row and then later went to Crowne Plaza Hotel to dance to hip-hop music.


Join us on a crazy wacko niteout.....

VW GTi Service


My car was due for its second maintenance service, which is at its 30,000km interval. All went well at the Volkswagen Service Centre in PJ, and then I sent my car for wheel balancing and alignment, at my usual workshop in TTDI. They found two nails in my rear tyre, which they repaired by patching, but other than that, my car was in tip top condition.....

See my car's wheel being serviced.....

Wedding Bells After Raya


My boss' other son got married and I was invited to be the photographer.  This time it was the main ceremony (akad nikah) so it was a rather important event. It took place at the bride's home, and the proceedings went along smoothly.

Take another look at a Malay wedding.......

Visiting Relatives During Raya


Part of the festivities is to go visit relatives. So my mum and I drove to my auntie's and cousin's home. The house was recently renovated so it looked quite nice.

Hari Raya in Penang


This year my mum wanted to escape from the typical Raya duties of cooking and entertaining guests, so we drove to Penang Island and stayed there for a few days at a beach hotel. It was a good getaway although we experienced persistent rain.

Visiting Late-Dad's Grave


Every year, before the fasting month is over, my brother and I would make a trip to the cemetery where my late-Dad was buried, to say some prayers and clean up the grave area. My brother's kids would tag along and help in the cleaning up too. I somehow find graveyards very peaceful and comfortable.

Testing out my new Nikon D700




With my recent purchase of a new Nikon D700 DSLR, I am happy to say I have moved over to full-frame FX photography! Did some test snapshots to verify my D700 is working, and I can report that I'm very satisfied with its performance.

You can see my d700 at http://harun.zenfolio.com/p329250002 :)
